General Description
The ASM809/ASM810 are cost effective 3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0V
power supply supervisor circuits optimized for low-power
microprocessor (µP), microcontroller (µC) and digital systems.
They provide a reset output during power-up, power-down and
brown-out conditions. They provide excellent reliability by
eliminating external components and adjustments. The
ASM809/810 are improved drop-in replacements for the Maxim
MAX809/810 and feature 60% lower supply current.
A reset signal is issued if the power supply voltage drops below
a preset reset threshold and is asserted for at least 140ms after
the supply has risen above the reset threshold. The ASM809
has an active-low RESET output that is guaranteed to be in the
correct logic state for VCC down to 1.1V. The ASM810 has an
active-high RESET output. The reset comparator is designed to
ignore fast transients on VCC.
Low supply current makes the ASM809/ASM810 ideal for use
in portable and battery operated equipment. The
ASM809/ASM810 are available in a compact, industry standard
3-pin SOT23 package.
Six voltage thresholds are available to support 3V to 5V
systems:

Detailed Description
A proper reset input enables a microprocessor /
microcontroller to start in a known state. ASM809/810 assert
reset to prevent code execution errors during power-up,
power-down and brown-out conditions.
Reset Timing
The reset signal is asserted- LOW for the ASM809 and HIGH
for the ASM810- when the VCC supply voltage falls below the
threshold trip voltage and remains asserted for 140ms
minimum after the VCC has risen above the threshold.

Application Information
Negative VCC Transients
The ASM809/810 protect µPs from brownouts and low VCC.
Short duration transients of 100mV amplitude and 20µs or
less duration typically do not cause a false RESET.
Valid Reset with VCC under 1.1V
When VCC is under 1.1V, to ensure logic inputs connected to
the ASM809 RESET pin are in a known state, a 100k pull-
down resistor is needed at RESET . The value of the resistor
is not critical. A 100k pull-up resistor to VCC at RESET is
needed with the ASM810.
Bidirectional Reset Pin Interfacing
The ASM809/810 can interface with µP / µC bi-directional
reset pins by connecting a 4.7k resistor in series with the
ASM809/810 reset output and the µP/µC bi-directional reset
pin.
